Whether to change a good playing cue??

[Byrom]

If you alter it down you would kill the value - I think you could use it for pool as it is anyway - Slippery slope when you start messing with cues -

If it was just worth say 100 quid then what the hell go for it but this cue is a nice one and like others say getting a cue you like that plays well at snooker for you is a hard task.

Either keep it for snooker and use it for pool of buy a cheap cue and whittle it down or just get a pool spec cue ready to go I would advise.

Does Tony do the weight stamps as well, or was it a doner shaft (as in donated, not kebab!)?

Looks lovely cue for what we can see of it!....lol.... Also looks like you or somebody else bought it from a great friend of mine Andrew who is ADR147 on here.


Gaz.

You can ply pool just as well with a tip of say 10mm as one of 8mm , it's all about tip contact on the cue ball for instance I can get just as much side with 10mm as my friend in France who is big into 8 ball and always trying to get me playing with 8.5mm , so my advice is if you have a cue you play well with keep it as it is and play both games with same cue , the amount of people I hear say they used to have a great cue and wish they had never sold it .

Really nice Matt, I could never alter that if it was mine, I couldn't sell it either lol.

Thanks guys really put my mind at rest to keep the cue as it is and play pool with it aswell. Yes Gazza the cue was bought from ADR by myself quality dealing with him. JRC will take a few pics as soon as. Culraven not to sure about the shaft as didn't buy this direct from Tony.

You could regret this

[Matt-10ant]

Maybe I could do but rather let someone else enjoy than get it altered and ruin a good cue

You definitely wouldn't get that much for it in pool specs so I agree. IMHO you can make some fantastic pool cues from common old cues which would only run you ~100 converted - don't have anything in at your specs atm but experiment would be my advice - for pool you can play with anything, I used to go to a friday knockout with county std players direct from playing 9 ball with my 9ball cue and get to the latter stages.

With the advice from here I wouldn't get the cue altered I'll try and play pool with the cue in its current specs but if it's not for me I will sell or swap the cue for a pool spec cue.
